Game Time Update

[StarkVegasSteve]

Game 1 moved to 4 PM today with Game 2 starting 40 minutes after. No games tomorrow and Game 3 on Sunday.....hopefully.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Warren Nolan currently has our RPI at 34. A win over Ole Miss in game 1 would gain us 26 points. A loss in game 1 would result in a loss of 33 points.

[Coach34]

Probably the 2nd biggest game of Pico de Gallo's career today as a SP with last year's Regional being 1st

[Quaoarsking]

Win both games today and you can basically punch our ticket to the Regionals. Lose both, and we're really behind the 8 ball...

[R2Dawg]

Win both games today and you can basically punch our ticket to the Regionals. Lose both, and we're really behind the 8 ball...

Loose both and its over.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Loose both and its over.

I wouldn't say that. If we lose (not loose) both today, then beat Ole Miss Sunday and sweep Missouri on the road next weekend, we would be 14-16. I think that would get us in. It's very possible 13-17 get us in, but I don't want to chance it. I would love to grab 2 of 3 from Ole Miss, sweep Missouri, and finish 15-15.

[KOdawg1]

Need to split today at least.

Don't want Sunday to be a must-win.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Need to split today at least.

Don't want Sunday to be a must-win.

We need to win both today. Sunday may not be played honestly. Sunday looks the worst of the weather days as of now.

[BeardoMSU]

Is game time starting as planned tonight?

[viverlibre]

yes - 4 minutes from now.

[EdwardDrayton]

Let's go Karson!! Let's beat these m'17ers!!!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

17 me. What's up with the bunt no outs first inning.

[HoopsDawg]

17 me. What's up with the bunt no outs first inning.

That is absolutely awful

[EdwardDrayton]

<smh>'

[Ranchdawg]

Not a fan of bunting unless you got guys next up that can hit.

[EdwardDrayton]

Attaway Karson. Let's post a crooked number now.

[CaptainObvious]

That's the offense we all know and love. 2 innings. 2 at bats. 2 runners at second with less than 2 outs. And NO runs scored!

[EdwardDrayton]

I nominate Jake Mangum for How To Handle A Bat coach.

[EdwardDrayton]

Karson hangin' tough. Now GET SOME DAMN RUNS!!!

[CaptainObvious]

Since we have the right to change our mind on here early and often. I have decided to change my mind on Sanders! I'll keep his .250 BA as long as he plays defense like that!

[EdwardDrayton]

Since we have the right to change our mind on here early and often. I have decided to change my mind on Sanders! I'll keep his .250 BA as long as he plays defense like that!

The question is why are we almost always stuck with a position player with a major weakness and no other choice.

[EdwardDrayton]

Going to take the high road and say Cheese somehow knew the left fielder would 17 the throw. *****

[HoopsDawg]

Going to take the high road and say Cheese somehow knew the left fielder would 17 the throw. *****

Yeah. Awful decision that worked out great.

[EdwardDrayton]

Damn Sully.

[HoopsDawg]

Hines is always behind in the count.

[EdwardDrayton]

We sho do luv us some LOBs. Sheesh.

[CaptainObvious]

Nothing from your 4 & 5 supposed RBI guys with 2nd and 3rd. This team is still shitty, I don't care how they finish this season. You cannot have holes at 4 & 5 with RISP!

[Ranchdawg]

Are our players not taught how to handle a bat. Especially in clutch situations.

[CaptainObvious]

The question is why are we almost always stuck with a position player with a major weakness and no other choice.

Well maybe he is learning how to use his right chicken wing to get on base!

[EdwardDrayton]

Parker with a questionable decision here.

[CaptainObvious]

That should be all for Ligonnaire!

[EdwardDrayton]

Karson battles out of it and Parker is breathing again.

[EdwardDrayton]

Are our players not taught how to handle a bat. Especially in clutch situations.

Insert 'Stallman, R' here.

[bulldogcountry1]

This game is there for the taking. We just aren?t showing much life at the plate so far.

[EdwardDrayton]

YEAH BABY!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Let's finish Nichols RIGHT HERE!!!

[Coach34]

We got 4 from Ligon- thats a win. We have a full pen. Let's roll

[EdwardDrayton]

YEEEEESSSSSSS!!! 4-1!!!!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

BYE MASON!!! GOOD 17ING RIDDANCE!!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Sully having a tough night thus far.

[CaptainObvious]

Should be two guys warming in the pen for State rest of game. When one comes in, another starts throwing so you got 2 up at all times! Sully can pitch against North Alabama, since he can't hit for crap now!

[Coach34]

Ligon coming out in the 5th shows you Parker has been making the pitching decisions all year

[EdwardDrayton]

You were on it Cap. Sanders killin' it with the glove tonight.

[EdwardDrayton]

Gotta think JP had Karson on a very short leash this inning though.

[EdwardDrayton]

Go get him.

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh $hit.

[EdwardDrayton]

Wow. JP 2 for 2 with Karson tonight. Still not sure those are decisions that play strong statistically over multiple games though.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Good to see Ligon nut Up

He survives a Walk and Error.

[EdwardDrayton]

Good to see Ligon nut Up

He survives a Walk and Error.

Karson battling all night. Good stuff.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I expect to see Stallman hit a solo HR after saying this, but he is lost at the moment.

Need to let OBrien, Downs, or someone make the ABs more competitive

[EdwardDrayton]

Spot on. He's a hammer swing and nothing more. Little clue how to handle a bat. And just like that he proves me wrong. What the 17 do I know. :)

[The Federalist Engineer]

Much better there by Stallman he was down 0-2

[EdwardDrayton]

JOE POWELL. Highfill streaks home!!!! 5-1!!!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Pretty good coaching move to PR with a faster kid. Caesarean Luck. The great leaders have it.

[BeardoMSU]

Please let the pitching hold up, lol.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ole Pissy diggin' in the pen now. Bring on McCausland and let's send him home to his momma!!! LOL!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

6-1. Two out mojo!!! Let's 17ING GOOOOO!!!!

[CaptainObvious]

Look at Sanders showing out at the plate!

[Coach34]

Bullpen to close- LFG!!!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Please let the pitching hold up, lol.

Preach brother.

[The Federalist Engineer]

The OM left fielder throws like a Child. Makes Cheese look good on the 6th run.

Sanders is clutch today

[BeardoMSU]

Oh no...

Why not go to the pen?!

[HoopsDawg]

Why is Ligon in?

[EdwardDrayton]

The OM left fielder throws like a Child. Makes Cheese look good on the 6th run.

Sanders is clutch today

He's made some pitiful throws tonight.

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh my JP. WTF.

[DawgFromOxford]

Hat off to Ligon. Well done

[BeardoMSU]

Why? Jesus.

[EdwardDrayton]

17 17 17 17 17

[Coach34]

No reason to run him out there to walk someone. Terrible

[EdwardDrayton]

Tip of the cap Mr Ligon. Tall Dawg tonight. 1 ER.

[CaptainObvious]

6 Free Passes by Ligon. Only 1 of the first 5 have scored, but if you keep throwing 7's after a double 4, eventually your chips are going to be in someone else's stack!

[The Federalist Engineer]

No reason to run him out there to walk someone. Terrible

He still had Velo and looked snappy.

But the Ligon Train seems to barely stay on the rails. So I would have pulled him, start clean.

[Cowbell]

Ligon coming out in the 5th shows you Parker has been making the pitching decisions all year

This aged well

[EdwardDrayton]

This aged well

Yeah but statistically this probably doesn't work. Even a monkey gets it right sometimes.

[Cowbell]

Parker pushing all the right buttons and some of you are still whining.

[Cowbell]

Yeah but statistically this probably doesn't work. Even a monkey gets it right sometimes.

Yeah well ifs and buts aren't candy and nuts.

It looks to me like we are trying to build some confidence in our pitching staff again.

[Cowbell]

Yeah but statistically this probably doesn't work. Even a monkey gets it right sometimes.

You also see where analytics have gotten this team too

[EdwardDrayton]

Dang. Tough weekend for umpires.

[EdwardDrayton]

Yeah well ifs and buts aren't candy and nuts.

It looks to me like we are trying to build some confidence in our pitching staff again.

Haha!! You're gonna ride that unicorn. OK then!! LOL!!!

[Cowbell]

Someone get that ump some barbecue

[HoopsDawg]

You also see where analytics have gotten this team too

The bunt in the 1st was bad and didn't work. Ligon shouldn't have started the 6th. But all good.

[Coach34]

We got lucky after the walk. Hail State

[Cowbell]

Haha!! You're gonna ride that unicorn. OK then!! LOL!!!

If we are gonna do anything in the post season our pitching gotta build some confidence. We did have a 5 run lead

[EdwardDrayton]

The bunt in the 1st was bad and didn't work. Ligon shouldn't have started the 6th. But all good.

Yup

[EdwardDrayton]

If we are gonna do anything in the post season our pitching gotta build some confidence. We did have a 5 run lead

I'm gonna give him credit whenever we win Cowbell. ESPECIALLY against Ole Miss!! I hate these 17ers!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Bring some more two out mojo!!!! Let's BURY them!!!!

[BeardoMSU]

That was in the other box, lol

[Hypnodawg]

We've got to lead the nation in loading the bases and not getting a run across

[Cowbell]

We got lucky after the walk. Hail State

Lucky is that OM pitcher getting two free strikes on Highfill

[Cowbell]

We've got to lead the nation in loading the bases and not getting a run across

To be fair, the ump took that out of Highfills hands

[CaptainObvious]

Why not bat for Highfill with the bases loaded? You know he is bringing O'Brien in for defense so just hit for Highfill there. He isn't clutch and hasn't been clutch at all this year!

[EdwardDrayton]

That was in the other box, lol

Terrible call.

[BeardoMSU]

Can never do it easy, lol

[bulldogcountry1]

The plate has been big all night for both sides. Just play it clean, and we got it.

[Coach34]

Helluva effort by Frei

[EdwardDrayton]

Not a good pitch sequence there. Do better JP.

[HoopsDawg]

Why not bat for Highfill with the bases loaded? You know he is bringing O'Brien in for defense so just hit for Highfill there. He isn't clutch and hasn't been clutch at all this year!

With who?

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus

[Coach34]

bring on McPh

[EdwardDrayton]

bring on McPh

Please yes

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh my. JP going contrarian tonight. It's worked so far buuuuut .........

[R2Dawg]

Nate has not been good last several weeks. He has lost his mojo. He was real good first half of year. We need him back to form.

[CaptainObvious]

Terrible call.

Doesn't matter. He had fouled off several pitches. He is a D1 batter. He should be able to spoil anything close and that pitch was NOT in the left hand batters box. It had enough spin to catch the front corner and still make the catcher stretch to catch it. It want hittable but it was foulable.

[Coach34]

****

[CaptainObvious]

No wonder Parker tried to get 6 plus out of Ligon. The rest of the BP sucks!!!!

[BeardoMSU]

Here it comes

[R2Dawg]

Better have a couple in bullpen rest of game.

[EdwardDrayton]

Huge at bat here.

[Coach34]

Nice pick Hines- huge

[bulldogcountry1]

Way to fight back.

[EdwardDrayton]

GIANT SO by Dotson.

[BeardoMSU]

Well that could've been worse, lol.

We need more runs.

[BeardoMSU]

Nice pick Hines- huge

Yes.

[KOdawg1]

Is McPherson dead?

He and Dotson should've been the ones to close this game.

[CaptainObvious]

In case anybody cares, Dotson threw nothing but fastballs to Humphrey! Amazing job to get out of the mess Williams made with only 2 scoring! But 6 runs may not be enough. They still have 2 more at bats. And we still have the same bull pen!

[EdwardDrayton]

Doesn't matter. He had fouled off several pitches. He is a D1 batter. He should be able to spoil anything close and that pitch was NOT in the left hand batters box. It had enough spin to catch the front corner and still make the catcher stretch to catch it. It want hittable but it was foulable.

I agree. He cannot watch it in that situation.

[CaptainObvious]

Better have a couple in bullpen rest of game.

He hasn't done it through the first 50 games plus 7 innings. Don't know why he would have anyone up warming this late in the game😳😳😳

[Cowbell]

Jake has done a good job with Powell. He's actually an SEC quality hitter and I never thought that would happen

[BeardoMSU]

Ok pitching....don't. shit. the. bed.

[BeardoMSU]

Lolz, my lord...

[Coach34]

wow

[mparkerfd20]

Highfill sucks

[BeardoMSU]

Why does this keep happening? The underlying symptoms of why we suck.

[CaptainObvious]

Outfield error with the 7 hole hitter. Ole Miss has 4 hits but 9 LOB so far. State with 12 hits but 10 LOB.

[BeardoMSU]

Highfill sucks

Hes done that a few times right?

Like watching kids play tball

[EdwardDrayton]

$&@?!#%?!

[BeardoMSU]

Fuuuuuuuck

[Coach34]

Outfield error with the 7 hole hitter. Ole Miss has 4 hits but 9 LOB so far. State with 12 hits but 10 LOB.

We literally took Stallman out of the game for that to happen

[R2Dawg]

Welp that may be it. We've just lost it.

Can Siary come in?

[EdwardDrayton]

The pooch just screwed contrarian.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Highfill sucks and needs to be gone ASAP

But pitching to the LHP killer is just dumb. 17 Dumb.

Got the back end of the pen. Just walk the big bastard

[BeardoMSU]

Errors walks hit batters. All of it self inflicted!

[R2Dawg]

We literally took Stallman out of the game for that to happen

Highfill ain't showed me anything, he shouldn't be on field. Put Obrien back there.

[CaptainObvious]

Same recipe as in pearl. Let em back in it by the bull pen who can't find their butts with both hands!

[HoopsDawg]

McPherson gotta be hot right?

[Coach34]

please bring on McPh

[The Federalist Engineer]

Gotta score 3 runs next at bat or I fear the result.

Dotson is barely making it here.

[R2Dawg]

Need 2 more runs

[mparkerfd20]

New coach will have his hands full finding us some talent. We have very little.

[HoopsDawg]

Highfill ain't showed me anything, he shouldn't be on field. Put Obrien back there.

O'Brien is in CF. But neither Chance or Frei has played RF. And no one seems to know what's up with Stevens.

[KOdawg1]

McPherson must be hurt. No other reason why he shouldn't be in the game.

Dotson and Williams pissed their freaking pants tonight. Ridiculous.

[BeardoMSU]

All those runners lob are gonna haunt us...

[Thick]

Highfill needs to be at Delta State!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Highfill ain't showed me anything, he shouldn't be on field. Put Obrien back there.

I'm dunking on some stupid shit people have said, but MSU did not pursue a Portal Catcher because ... "we have Highfill"

Rather have Tanner Pool back on the roster.

[Coach34]

wow- Davis?

Holy shirts and pants

[CaptainObvious]

The bullpen is blowing this one, but our 4 and 5 hole hitters.... err.... I mean "batters" had a chance to step on their necks and make em quit multiple times and didn't do their damn jobs! And lucky us, those 2 clowns may have a chance to save this one with their bats. 😳😳😳

[EdwardDrayton]

WTF???

[R2Dawg]

Our bullpen sucks now. If our starters don't go deep we ain't winning much.

[Coach34]

Sit down Bitch!!!

[BeardoMSU]

Ben. Davis.

Ok, assholes....3 more outs.

[EdwardDrayton]

Parker dancin' with the devil in the pale moonlight .......

[R2Dawg]

Must score some here or fear we lose; although Davis looked OK

[maroonmania]

This team makes sure nothing is ever easy. Now we have to done something we are really bad at and that is win a one run game.

[EdwardDrayton]

Gotta have some runs.

[R2Dawg]

Must win tonight because we ain't sweeping Mizzou

[EdwardDrayton]

Must win tonight because we ain't sweeping Mizzou

Certainly don't want that to be our path to a regional. Odds would not be in our favor.

[EdwardDrayton]

C'mon Sully. Break out.

[Cowbell]

Sully is due

[EdwardDrayton]

Oof. Sully oh for five. Damn.

[BeardoMSU]

Turrible

[HoopsDawg]

Hines in a hole again. It's hard to hit when it's always 1-2.

[maroonmania]

Hines Ks on one at his shoulders. Great job by Sully and Hines there. NOT.

[Cowbell]

Hines and chance need to be swapped in the lineup

[EdwardDrayton]

Hines and Sully oh for ten. Damn. Bullpen gotta shoulder it.

[R2Dawg]

Hines can count on for horrible AB in big moments.

[CaptainObvious]

0-10 by your 4 & 5 hole "batters" nothing clutch about Hines, the future All-Semi-Pro player for the Hattiesburg Black Sox just like daddy-o Hines!

[HoopsDawg]

3 outs away from a regional.

[bulldogcountry1]

You just can?t have 4 and 5 going 0-10 in a critical rivalry game

[Thick]

Hines with the hat trick?.3 Ks!

[R2Dawg]

Hines and chance need to be swapped in the lineup

Chance has become clutch. He and Ace you can count on.

[CaptainObvious]

Must be saving McPherson for North Alabama

[EdwardDrayton]

Gimme three outs mister gimme three outs towards the door ........

[BeardoMSU]

Throw ****ing strikes

[BuckyIsAB****]

Game

[R2Dawg]

We followup one of best individual pitching performances with one of worst bullpen performances.

[maroonmania]

Leadoff walk, geez

[BeardoMSU]

Been called a strike all day, lol

[CaptainObvious]

11 free passes. Let's go ahead and walk the go ahead run in too!

[EdwardDrayton]

A 17ing leadoff walk in the ninth inning. With a one run lead. <smh>

[mparkerfd20]

We can't pitch to lefties period

[R2Dawg]

Ballgame.

[BeardoMSU]

Getting squeezed!!!!

[R2Dawg]

Been called a strike all day, lol

Yeah this ump is off.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Take this dude OUT. Davis is going to lose this game

[maroonmania]

We are just really shorthanded with pitching right now.

[Brobi-wan]

This is TRAGIC

[BeardoMSU]

We deserve this shit.

[HoopsDawg]

Wow. Just Wow.

[maroonmania]

Most important game of the year and we are just going to give it away.

[Brobi-wan]

Not sending it best guy out in a must win game is wild.

[BeardoMSU]

****ing awful.

[Coursesuper]

Getting squeezed!!!!

No he was missing. But it still sucks.

[R2Dawg]

Worst melt down on mound I can remember

[The Federalist Engineer]

Yeah this ump is off.

The OM pitcher is throwing strikes and not dropping fly balls and Dotson decided to challenge the big pinch hitter. Just garbage from the pen, garbage

[KOdawg1]

Inexcusable to have McPherson available and let these bums walk the yard.

Absolutely inexcusable.

[maroonmania]

We deserve this shit.

We really do. Offense can't expand the lead and bullpen just giving OM the game.

[Cowbell]

Worst melt down on mound I can remember

Ivan think of several others this year

[SaintDawg]

This is TRAGIC

and to be expected. They’ve done it all season. Why stop now?

[BuckyIsAB****]

I literally wouldnt care if we play again till 26 if we lose this

[maroonmania]

Losing Hungate was a killer for a team already thin on pitching.

[The Federalist Engineer]

This is a stupid situation.

Williams, Dotson, Davis all sucked

Now McP has to figure out a nightmare

[BeardoMSU]

Why so many non competitive pitches?

[The Federalist Engineer]

If moreman is good walk him, set up the force out.

No need to pitch him out here, 3-0 count already

[EdwardDrayton]

Anybody wanna debate why we don't wanna make the pitching coach the head coach. *****

[Activated Alpha]

Gutsy win boys. gutsy win

[HoopsDawg]

Several management miscues tonight. Several player miscues. But we're going to a regional.

[BeardoMSU]

Oh thank ****, lol

[mparkerfd20]

Lucky af

[The Federalist Engineer]

McPherson - you are a Stud Bolt! My boy!

Parker 5-1 in SEC play

[Hypnodawg]

Sitting on a heart attack

[maroonmania]

Wow, just wow. A win is a win and we are still alive.

[EdwardDrayton]

17 Ole Piss. However NEVER shoulda been this kind of drama at the end.

[Brobi-wan]

McPherson - you are a Stud Bolt! My boy!

Parker 5-1 in SEC play

Don’t tell the boosters

[EdwardDrayton]

Several management miscues tonight. Several player miscues. But we're going to a regional.

^^^^^

[Coach34]

Boom

[Cowbell]

My heart needs a breather

[DawgFromOxford]

Had to have it. Got it. GTHOM

[BuckyIsAB****]

Can someone explain why McPherson didnt come in earlier

[EdwardDrayton]

Had to have it. Got it. GTHOM

Bottom line that's all that matters. We beat their a$$.

[EdwardDrayton]

Can someone explain why McPherson didnt come in earlier

Please please someone ask that in the presser.

[HoopsDawg]

Can someone explain why McPherson didnt come in earlier

There is no explanation. Everyone on this board was calling for him in the 8th.

[BuckyIsAB****]

There is no explanation. Everyone on this board was calling for him in the 8th.

That made absolutely no sense at all.

[BeardoMSU]

We were so damn lucky, lol. 10 walks?!

Some of our luck was OM sucking, too, lol.

[maroonmania]

Is Hungate finished for the year? We really need another reliable arm.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We were so damn lucky, lol. 10 walks?!

Some of our luck was OM sucking, too, lol.

Theyre not very good

[The Federalist Engineer]

My heart needs a breather

Not mine, I was mentally prepared for a huge let down. Williams with a bad outing and survival from that was major Lucky day.

But the program needs post season and energy to keep MSU intact with recruiting, roster stability and letting the coaching decision happen from a position of strength.

[CaptainObvious]

Losing Hungate was a killer for a team already thin on pitching.

Happens to at least one State pitcher every year. Got to have more solid depth than one side-arm pitcher who throws an 87 mph fastball! Dotson and Williams look like guys in the Previous pitching coaches trading program. Ligon is a 3 inning pitcher, not a starter. State will be 0-1 in Hoover and if they back into a regional, 2 & Q! Most teams who get into your bull pen hurt you. Not State. State gets into the bull pen and shuts down immediately!

Just way too soft a team! Sanders beginning to turn into a dirt bag and Powell already is one. Highfill comes to the ball park with dirty pants because he sure doesn't do much to get them dirty! Hines couldn't hit Oklahoma's Ace Softball pitcher and Sullivan aint a 3,4 or 5 spot hitter. He is more of a 6-7 spot batter. Move Chance to leadoff, Frei to 2nd Reeves to 3rd, Reese to cleanup, and Powell to 5th. Bat Hines 6th and Sullivan 7th! Sanders 8th, play O'Brien in Right and bat him 9th!

Excellent take Fed.

[Coach34]

Lemon recruited this team and its holding up to injuries. Got to handle bidness next weekend

[Todd4State]

Can someone explain why McPherson didnt come in earlier

Because Parker can't manage a pitching staff and no one has a defined role.

We put the guy that should be our closer in the 6th inning.

He should have pulled Ligon after four. We got lucky he somehow by the grace of God he got out of it in the fifth- that was big time playing with fire right there.

After that we should have gone to McPherson. We especially should have gone to him after we stole an inning.

Then it should have been Dotson and Williams.

We played with fire all night and luckily survived the burns.

Todd, my man.

Using the closer in a high leverage moment is something people do. I fully expected Williams to pitch two soul crushing innings and settle the game. But he did not. When the lead horse fails, usually the rest of the pen follows. It didn't.

Not saying storing McP was correct. However, Dotson is someone that Parker loves in high leverage. I don't but he does. JP should have intentionally walked that big Mormon Kid. The splits had red flags of danger for a Left handed pitcher. Mistake.

Consider however, this is a pen without Hungate and Black. Those were supposed to be our best and most experienced. Pruitt is an ugly and nerdy Andrew Walling. Mannell is the new Holcombe. Charlie Foster is? Burns is not ready. Loftin is in his 3rd year of rest. Need to use the nerds versus North Alabama and start using Sullivan in the SEC, need that good arm.

You got give JP a little credit for piecing together a staff with so many big problems. Williams and Simmons after two years of injury. Siary is a great high school recruit that was lovingly developed and Ligon is an injured possum that wildlife rescue Vet girls mended.

Up 6-1 with a runner on first is high leverage now?

The reality is no one on the pitching staff in the bullpen has an actual defined role and that makes it a lot harder to pitch. It's also a lot harder to pitch when you come into a 1 run game with a jam created by your pitching coach because he can't tell when someone is gassed or not.

We knew that we were losing Stephen and Loo by this time last year and we knew we were losing Hardin and Davis and we also knew we were losing Auger. Did we hit the portal hard for pitching? No. And who is responsible for that? Parker and Lemonis. And both will be gone soon because of it.

If anything Burns should be pitching more. He has a lower conference ERA than McPherson and most of the damage done against him was in his first two outings. He was solid against Auburn and Kentucky. Mannell should be pitching more. He was good against Ole Miss in game one. He has had only one bad outing out of three appearances.

I don't get how come some guys get shelved after one bad outing and others continue to just get hung out to dry? And yet Ben Davis gives up a run almost every time they pitch.

He's not piecing things together. He's throwing shit against the wall and hoping that something sticks which is essentially what happened tonight. Barely.

The only noticeable difference between Lemonis and Parker is that Parker is willing to let guys pitch more than once on the weekend.

They failed to get Root, Bedeljuice, or the Florida kid. Van Horn, LSU Johnson, and even Butch out-recruiting MSU in the portal. Texas got the good Indiana State kid. MSU got no pitchers from the OM exodus, not even JT Quinn. The Kentucky junior took the draft position. LSU cleaned up on quality transfers. That is on the JP and Lemons that LSU, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas got the best transfers.

People saying Lemons was super lazy and does not work 12 months like Vitello does. Also, it hurts that MSU looks to be in decline. People not excited about Regional Finals, I guess. They see who is in Omaha. I wonder how Butch sold a 8-22 season in the portal. He must work harder.

On Burns, those stats are deceptive. He had a decent Auburn game in a dead game. Dotson is also good in those mop up deals. Burns is going to be good but you can see the strikezone is a problem. He even posted his K to Ball ratio, he's not yet a control and location pitcher.

Guys chill out. We won. There will be a new coach soon anyway.

Everybody needs to smoke a cig and be grateful. I was as mad as everyone, but years from now in the school annual the score will read 6-5 and who cares how we got the W. Got a great chance for post season. I’m grateful.

Lemon recruited this team and its holding up to injuries. Got to handle bidness next weekend

Maybe you and him can go watch a regional final together

Have you ever tried to hit 70 at 43' coming underhanded? That's the equivalent to like a mid upper 90s fb.

2 and Q after the way the season looked will be alright going into a coaching search. At least the team didn't completely quit.

A lot of work to be done for the new coach for sure. As rough of an athletics year this has been it'll be nice to have some post season play. Can't worry about the past just gotta look forward. Just gotta take care of MO.

Mizzou took 2 from A&M. Nothing is guaranteed.

I'm sure next year will be a rebuild but it needs to happen.

No doubt it'll be a rebuild. I'm looking at the end of this season as a nice bonus. Best case for me is happening, bad enough lemonis is gone and yet, we still hopefully(if we take care of what we should) get to watch some post season baseball for the dawgs.

Anyone complaining just needs to sit back and enjoy the rest of the season without to much judgement. Good chance the roster is vastly different next year.

Baseball is a funny sport, I will say I would hate to see us in a regional, we'll be a tough out for anyone if we are clicking. Nobody expects anything out of this group and those teams can become very dangerous this time of year.
